Ok heres the quick story: I have a 2001 2.8Q tip A4. I want to chip it twice, one performance chip and one tip chip. My question is this: will chipping both the transmission and engine put excessive strain on both parts (ie cause dmg to the engine and transmission / make their components wear at an excessive rate). thanks alot for your help

 

there are no chips for the 2.8 only 1.8T...and if you get a tip chip, it just reduces your shift time to about .2 secs. instead of the shitty stock shifting

 

well not exactly.... http://www.pes-tuning.com/Merchant2/...ry_Code=AUDIA4

it may not do as much as the 1.8t chip, but its something....

as for the tip chip, i know what it does, i was just trying to figure out if by remapping the shifting programs, does it end up putting extra strain on the tranny

 

O there are infact severall chips for the 2.8...

 

And in answer to your question, no everything would be fine. Any chip you buy from a reputable company will be built within the engine (or tranny)s efficiency range.

 

perfect, exactly what i wanted to hear

thanks man
